A stat about what a bad player Nadal became...

Maybe people do not realize that but here is his number of titles starting from 2011:
2011: 3 titles, all on clay.
2012: 4 titles, all on clay.
2013: 10 titles, on both clay and hardcourt.
2014: 4 titles, 3 of them on clay with the other being a challenger.
2015: 3 challenger level titles, 2 on clay.
2016: 2 titles, both on clay.
2017: 4 titles, all on clay, and I'm pretty sure this number will not change.
Wow, this looks truly pathetic. Take out 2013 and you get that in the last 7 years Nadal is just a player who is playing in the tour just for these 2 months of the clay season, other than that he is irrelevant. On hardcourts he is just SHOCKINGLY BAD. You know, Shapovalov and Kyrgios didn't play great at all in these 2 tournaments. Nadal just makes his opponents look better than they really are. Can't see him getting past the fourth round of USO. Even though I support him I must say him becoming world number 1 is a very big joke. Even Murray deserved it more.

ps. please stop supporting him. He doesn't need or want "fans" like yourself. The only joke here is you.

Not as bad as this one.

In an event he won, the last 5 set win for Nadal was at age 27.

In an event he won, the last 5 set win for Fed was at age 35.

Here's a stat about how good a player Nadal is at the age of 31:

He won a major without dropping a set and got to world no 1!!!!

I'm not even a fan but come on man, respect greatness!!
That was a clay slam. But outside of clay he is so bad, it's just hard to explain how bad he is. I think he should retire until Monte Carlo 2018, he is not going to win anything on hardcourt. I can't believe Federer fans are proud of Federer hardly beating him in AO final, a final that Nadal reached just by fluke.

Nadal ranking prowess is similarly based on Muster's, yet with Hewitts heart and his own time wasting antics
on the clay allows him to vulture the no1 position even in 2017 while all the top hardcourters are injured.
On hard, offensive players like NK, ROGEReriatric, lefties like Shappo & old Mustard S&V expose his pushery

To be fair, in 2012, he withdrew from the rest of the year with injury post-Wimbledon (where a majority of hard court tournaments are played) but still made the finals of the Australian Open to put up an amazing fight against Djokovic. In 2011, he also made the finals of Wimbledon and the US Open, losing to a flaming hot Djokovic. I'm not going to defend him after 2014, but to denote ATP 250s as mere challenger titles is a gross understatement. They are legitimate ATP titles.

I'm going to reserve judgement until after the US Open. If he reaches the top 4 and can manage to stave off a healthy Federer from taking the #1 ranking, I'll consider him a worthy #1.

Right now it looks very unlikely. The courts in USO are a bit better for him than Cincinnati courts, but I doubt it will make much difference.

Made AO final by a "fluke" LOL. Beat Zverev, Raonic and a won a WAR with dimitrov and damn near won the final.
If Nadal was playing well he would never let this mug Dimitrov win even a set. His other results on hardcourt in the last few years prove it was a fluke.

Terrible player actually. Only one slam and one slam final at the tender age of 31.He should have at least five or six slams this year.

btw, how many players have done better in their thirty-oneth year ?

Federer does much better aged 36.
